Finally answers the question: OMG! What if Wall street thieves weren't paid obscene salaries!!!11

[Thrill]

1. OWNED

[TheEuclideanOne]

8. Of course, CNBC feels this way

Shouldn't they take at least a quick break before continuing their destructive ways?

[DaLittle Kitty]

21. Kick And RecOMMEND! WAll Street Is A Total SCAM! The Notion Of Its Credibility Is Crumbling!

Who needs traders ANYway? They are just there to steal OUR $! We are "advised" to invest for the long term meanwhile Wall Street is all da time shorting out from under us and STEALING our hard earned money! :think: It IS... as simple as that!

[DaLittle Kitty]

23. Certainly, Edwards Was Correct... The Media Attacks the Credibility of Those Who Criticize The Estab

lishment. The papers even with declining credibility are still able to do this. In 5-10 years the newspapers in print will be gone and as long as the internet is not somehow CENSORED the newspapers then will be saddled w/ competing on an equal playing field ... with the likes of us! Haaa! :think: Then perhaps we will have a chance...

[acmavm]

30. Give this guy Geithner's job.

[FredStembottom]

31. .... and how?

Because, whoever he is, he has stepped away from "traditional" Democratic cringe-speak. You know, where "our" representatives nearly curl up and die with each carefully crafted weasel-word lest it offend a Republican (or Republican owned media outlet).

He has set down that invisible burden that D.C. Dems carry and calmly speaks the truth.

He is a free man.

[bluesmail]

2. HA! HA! HA! eom

[RufusTFirefly]

3. Great! And Sherman's no liberal.

But he is an accountant. So what he says about financial matters has considerable weight.

[specimenfred1984]

4. Haines is a paid-off TV whore and and ongoing disgrace to "journalism"

He is an "entertainer" and nothing else.

[JoePhilly]

5. SMACK!!!!!!!

[BanzaiBonnie]

That was awesome

Way to go!

It's certainly telling about how the "elites" of Wallstreet feel about us common folk. Like we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground. We are looked down on from their high position and don't deserve what they've got in their greedy strangle hold.

[valerief]

6. Guests need to laugh at these CNBC clowns more often. nt

[AlbertCat]

7. I love YouTube GOP nuts...

who think Sherman doesn't know what he's talking about:


"Main Street knows more aout running the financial system than Wall Street?"


well...Obviously.

"No idea what systemic risks means EVEN AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS!?!"


So what does it mean...NOW? Looks like it's already happened. AIG isn't too big to fail, it has ALREADY failed.

This is just a plug for the latest lame GOP talking point....something about their favorite Senator they like to defend, McCarthy.

These guys don't get it. No one has confidence in them or their abilities anymore. They are done...not in trouble but done.

[kestrel91316]

9. That's my guy, lol! Sherman is my rep. He may be a wonkish nerd,

but that was one heck of a smackdown.

[Beaverhausen]

10. Mine too. Makes me proud

:hi:

[truedelphi]

17. I knew nothing of him till this piece, but he has my

Vote should i ever live in LA

[heliarc]

26. My representative!!! Yes!!!

My favorite was his characterization of the bailout as a ransom paid with a gun to our heads...

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. Well-spoken wonkish nerd. Wish I had one in my district.

[The Wizard]

11. Wall Street shysters

are in line for the big payback.
CNBC defending Wall Street criminals is like Pox News spewing Nazi propaganda.

[quidam56]

12. Greed is Good

[NBachers]

13. Watch on YouTube so you can rate it up

Just look at this gluttonous porcine Republican crook Wall Street slob.

"Receivership would have caused systemic problems." Thank God we don't have any systemic problems now.

Witchhuntery? Do we want to go with burning at the stake, or the "if they sink and drown they're innocent" solution?

"Do you know what Wall Street would look like if we did that?" Yes, it would look like an upscale neighborhood in any community. The pathological, sociopathic greed of these Republican traitors is absolutely unbelievable.

29. i'd never really noticed that

rep sherman, from sherman oaks. tehe

[ihavenobias]

14. K & R n/t

[Bette Noir]

15. Brad Sherman is a good man. I'll be happy to vote for him, again.

That buffoon grilling him seems to belong to an entirely different species.

[jimlup]

16. Mark Hains is an ass

If you know him, you notice that he just gets angry whenever anyone suggests that Wall Street not be a scene of capitalist excesses. The man has no reason behind his attitude. He's just one of the Wall Street mouthpieces who is programed to show offense whenever it is suggested that the greedy bastards not get everything.

Congratulations to the representative for showing this ass for who and what he really is: a fat capitalist blowhard mouthpiece.

[pa28]

18. Mark Haines is prone to all kinds of cringe inducing behavior.

He's got a real penchant for bizarre non-sequiturs and intellectual cul-de-sacs. Even his fellow shills on CNBC seem to hate him.

[stlsaxman]

19. WHAM!! KA-POW!!! ZING!!!!

[sasquatch]

20. What is it with the name Sherman and briliance in this nation?

:shrug:
¡Muerte al Sur!
:patriot:

[Tx4obama]

22. If the wallstreet bums

were paid $100,000 a year that would still be more than a lot of working Americans make in a year!

[Wetzelbill]

24. If you suck at your job, you don't deserve a huge salary

end of story.

[nilram]

25. righton, worth watching

Never heard of the Sherman guy before. Excellent responses.

[DFW]

27. A bought MSM hack against Brad Sherman? Like a snail against a cheetah!

I once did a comedy panel with Brad Sherman. He's funny, he's sharp, and he's VERY quick. This jerk
Haines from CNBC must have seen a photo and thought Sherman looked like a nerd, and so must be one.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Sherman had us all laughing our asses off with his quick humor.

He owned this pig-faced media hack within thirty seconds of the start of this interview, and chewed up
his remains for the rest of it.

[4dsc]

28. Laughing at these clowns on CNBC

should become a national pastime.. This is a great clip.

[NoSheep]

32. Recommending this refreshing video. Goes very well with coffee.

[Lucky Luciano]

33. I saw this live...I was surprised because usually Haines

rips apart the bonuses recipients that lost money or fucked things up.

Looks like he had his feet held to the fire by the higher-ups.

[Lorien]

34. That was a mild debate, but not really a smackdown

I guess that I've been away from cable news for too long. If this is seen as somehow remarkable, then we really are in a boatload of trouble.

[liberation]

36. I got the distinct impression that Hains did not know what "receivership" meant...

That line about "systemic problems" clearly showed that he thought that by using some "complex sounding" couple of word, which were unrelated to the matter, would make him look less ignorant.

I am tired of these savage capitalist. On the other hand, they postulate that w/o the possibility of obscene amounts of money... the rich would have no "motivation" for "taking care of us" in their inifinite wisdom. But at the same time, they complain that too much money for the poor means, that the lower classes will not have motivation to better themselves. So what is it fellas?

[8 track mind]

37. Pow! Right in the kisser! n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

38. "What does Main Street know about running a financial system..."

What a fucking jackass. Main Street's pensions, annuities, and 401(k)s became the gambling chips in Wall Street's epic fail system. So Sherman's answer was the obvious retort. The situation (reality) speaks for itself. But oddly enough, repuke talking points continue to be spewed that there is still too much gov't meddling. That's because the crooks realize that they are being grabbed at the ankles to slow them down from stealing even more, as fast as they can, on their way out.
